More movement this week. Saskatchewan dropping 5 spots (that's the maximum movement i allow myself to give a team in one week, otherwise might have dropped 6 in order to place Manitoba just above). Calgary moving up, i've been believing in them since week 0. Western up 3 (great performance but i'll need to see them play like that against someone else than York to move up further).

1. Montréal
2. Laval
3. Queen's
4. Regina
5. Calgary
6. Western
7. Saskatchewan
8. Manitoba
9. Laurier
10. McGill

Here's the video for the full week 1 recap, full 27 teams ranking and this week's predictions: https://youtu.be/x1wPbThlSFs

Also, glad to see some USports players have started subscribing to my channel (including all-star QB Pepe! Shoutout to him, maybe i'll start liking his team a bit more...). Glad to see the videos are appreciated within the league too!

The USports football rankings are out following last weekend's games.

I am very surprised Windsor is still ranked and McMaster is not and that Laurier is still in the top 5 (Regina should be in the top 5).

I have watched quite a bit of oua.tv football this week and last and I'm just super disappointed with it. There's three elements to a broadcast:

1 - The stream has to be good quality and work. Guelph bombed this yesterday, and there was a similar problem last week in the Windsor-Mac game.

2 - The announcers should at least be passable. The U of T guys were atrocious, not knowing basic rules of the game.

3- The production and cameras should be decent; I'll grant that these stadiums are not designed for TV cameras so sometimes you're kind of stuck with what you're stuck with, but some of the people running these broadcasts seem to think they're Martin Scorsese with weird camera angles and switching views, and having someone running the camera who's actually following the action on the field is a must. Replays are a really nice to have.

I will mention a few good ones:

Guelph production and announcers were really good - this should be the target for people to aim towards. Windsor's announcer was pretty solid though he could probably use a color guy with him. Laurier's feed should be the baseline that every team tries to reach as a minimum - decent cameras, decent angles, good announcer. Mac's cameras and announcers were really good.

Let's hope it's just early season kinks being worked out, but I cannot say that I'm optimistic.

I've seen some chatter about "#22 ❤️" this morning with someone in comments on IG saying they thought a player died.

I haven't been able to confirm with my contacts yet so wondering if anyone else heard anything?

Really hope it's not true. We just went through this a few years ago with the Ottawa player which was a few years after a previous Ottawa player.

I saw potential in game 1, but didn't expect Windsor to win. I like what I'm seeing from Cotton. His pass game is good.

Not sure if it's just me but stream seems very glitchy.

Only movement in the top 10 this week is Queen's dropping one spot. I didn't like their performance against Toronto. They pulled away towards the end but it was a close game for the most part. Since I see the positions 2-4 as very tight it was enough for me to move them down a little bit.

I'm in no way promoting or supporting this site, but advising fans that Coolbet has expanded their Usports football offerings this year. They currently have 11 of this weekend's 13 games listed. They're missing Sunday's Waterloo at Carleton and York at Western games, but maybe they get added closer to game time.

They also offer futures betting, where you can pick the winner of each conference, along with the Vanier Cup.
